Chapter 925: Oath Society Descends
Jinian casually draped a loose windbreaker over her swimsuit to cover her figure, tied her black hair up with a hair tie, and followed the man toward the deck.
On this massive cruise ship, there were only about forty people in total. At this moment, almost everyone had gathered in the center of the deck, carefully examining the two people who had just been fished out of the water, their faces full of confusion.
"The President is here!"
"Move, move! Let the President through."
"Good day, President!"
"Good day, President!"
Someone in the crowd noticed Jinian approaching in her windbreaker and immediately called out, and the crowd instantly parted to form a path, bowing slightly in greeting.
Jinian gave a slight nod and calmly walked through the crowd, heading directly toward the two individuals.
On the pixel-composed deck, a man and a woman lay there in silence, with seawater dripping from their soaked clothes, forming a pool of water around them. Both were unconscious, lying in the center of that puddle.
The woman wore a bloodstained deep blue hanfu, her face deathly pale. She had a gruesome sword wound on her back, yet no blood seeped from it. Her breathing was weak but steady.
The man's injuries were far more severe. A sword gash had pierced directly through his body from behind, blood soaking his clothes crimson. His left hand gripped the woman's palm tightly while his right hand clutched a longsword with unwavering strength. Despite being unconscious, both hands held on like iron clamps, refusing to release.
The instant Jinian's gaze fell upon the man, her pupils contracted and her body trembled.
Dazed, she stood there, lips parting slightly as she murmured to herself, words only she could hear:
"It's him... it really is him?"
"President, what did you say?" The suited man beside her asked, puzzled.
"...Nothing." Jinian snapped back to awareness and shook her head slightly.
The man hesitated briefly before speaking: "These two people are quite peculiar. The woman has a sword wound but isn't bleeding. The muscle tissue around the wound shows no signs of healing at all, and the wound itself remains very... very fresh? It's as if all the cells froze at the moment of injury."
"The man is even stranger. A penetrating wound of this severity, even without hitting the heart, would cause massive blood loss. An ordinary person would have bled out long ago, but he not only survived, his wound is even gradually healing on its own. His survival is nothing short of a miracle!"
A miracle?
Jinian shrugged. She wasn't sure about the woman's condition, but this man... he truly did represent "miracle."
"Take them both to the ship's medical room and prepare for emergency treatment," Jinian said calmly.
The surrounding Oath Society members immediately lifted the two people from the deck and carried them to the ship's medical room. The others gathered on the deck also dispersed.
Wearing the windbreaker, Jinian walked alone to the front of the cruise ship, gazing at the vaguely visible coastline emerging through the distant mist, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"President, we're about to reach the Yata noKagami gap," the suited man said, walking to her side.
"Mm." Jinian nodded calmly, then turned toward the cabin. The tattered windbreaker fluttered in the mist as she walked.
"Alert everyone—prepare to enter the Human Enclosure."
...
Japan.
Human Enclosure.
Hokkaido Coast.
Wei Dong stood on the turbulent shore, gazing out at the distant horizon with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
"Knight, why hasn't the President arrived yet?" he couldn't help but ask, turning to the knight beside him.
The knight sat leisurely on the beach, picked up a seashell, and tossed it into the distant waves. "Relax. Passing through that gap takes time, and we've marked the signals all along the way. With the President here, nothing can go wrong."
"True..." Wei Dong nodded, feeling somewhat reassured.
BOOM——!!!
Just then, a deafening roar echoed from the distant sea. A massive pixel sphere rapidly surged upward from the ocean floor, broke through the surface, and crashed heavily into the water, sending terrifying circular waves outward.
"Damn!" The blonde-haired, blue-eyed knight cursed instinctively and scrambled backward. The churning waves crashed onto the beach, and the splashing seawater still managed to soak his clothes.
Wei Dong stared at the pixel sphere on the sea, his eyes filled with wild joy!
The pixel sphere's shell dissolved like foam, revealing the massive cruise ship it had encased. A girl stood quietly at the very front of the ship, hands in pockets, as seawater rained down like droplets, soaking the hem of her clothes.
"So this is the 'Human Enclosure' of the gods of Takamagahara..."
Jinian's gaze swept across the blue sky and white clouds, then fixed on the distant high-rise silhouettes on shore. She clicked her tongue. "The scale is indeed ridiculously huge, isn't it?"
As the cruise ship gradually approached the shore, Jinian stepped directly off the bow and lightly landed on the beach. Wei Dong and the knight bowed slightly and spoke in unison:
"Good day, President."
"Hey there, Little Wei Dong, long time no see?" Jinian said with a smile, patting Wei Dong on the shoulder. "Thanks for your hard work this time."
Wei Dong smiled helplessly. "President, I'm thirty already... using 'little' doesn't really fit, does it?"
"Why not?"
Jinian waved dismissively and walked up to the drenched knight, sizing him up with an odd expression.
"Six, did you just come from a hot spring soak? I heard most of the mixed baths here in Hokkaido are full of old ladies preying on young men's bodies. Did you get taken advantage of?"
Knight: ...
"President, everything on the ship is ready," a member of the Oath Society said, approaching from behind.
Jinian gave a slight nod. Her playful expression faded, and her face grew serious.
"Wei Dong, is the temporary base ready?"
"Ready," Wei Dong nodded. "We have connections with a yakuza family in Tokyo. They've lent us one of their properties as a temporary residence."
"A yakuza family? Is it the Minamoto or the Uesugi?"
"...It's the Kazatsuragi."
"Tch, fiction really is full of lies," Jinian shrugged. "Let's go. Lead the way."
...
Tokyo.
The Kazatsuragi Estate.
"Welcome to the midday news broadcast.
According to the latest reports, incomplete statistics show that as of nine o'clock this morning, Osaka has recorded a total of 32,012 criminal cases this week, ranking second only to Tokyo's 37,621 cases, making it Japan's second-largest crime city.
This week, Tokyo has averaged over 5,300 criminal incidents per day. Areas such as Shinjuku, Shibuya, Chiyoda, and Edogawa have completely devolved into criminal hells, with all police stations completely paralyzed, including numerous armed militant uprisings.
Residents of the above four districts are strongly advised to stay indoors unless absolutely necessary...
Additionally, the Dawn Broadcasting system reminds all residents: if you experience symptoms such as red eyes, insomnia, or unexplained rage, please seek immediate medical isolation treatment at your nearest hospital..."
